it is abhorrent behaviour regardless what your stance is on anyone to be happy about destruction and harm. what's worse is the people, sone celebrities even, online who are deriving pleasure from suffering around this.
*schadenfreude*
*Tall poppy syndrome* is a cultural phenomenon where people of high status are resented, attacked, cut down, or criticized because they have been classified as better than their peers. This is similar to "begrudgery", the resentment or envy of the success of a peer. If someone were to feel joy by the victim's fall from grace, they would be experiencing schadenfreude.
*Roman holiday* is a metaphor from Byron's poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, where a gladiator in ancient Rome expects to be "butchered to make a Roman holiday" while the audience would take pleasure from watching his suffering. The term suggests debauchery and disorder in addition to sadistic enjoyment.
*Morose delectation* (Latin: delectatio morosa), meaning "the habit of dwelling with enjoyment on evil thoughts", was considered by the medieval church to be a sin. French writer Pierre Klossowski maintained that the appeal of sadism is morose delectation.
PS the root meaning of the word 'sin' is separation (eg. it causes society, people, communities to break apart)
